Research: What it is.
A research paper is the culmination and final product of an involved process of research, critical thinking, source evaluation, organization, and composition. It is, perhaps, helpful to think of the research paper as a living thing, which grows and changes as the student explores, interprets, and evaluates sources related to a specific topic. Primary and secondary sources are the heart of a research paper, and provide its nourishment; without the support of and interaction with these sources, the research paper would morph into a different genre of writing (e.g., an encyclopedic article). The research paper serves not only to further the field in which it is written, but also to provide the student with an exceptional opportunity to increase her knowledge in that field. It is also possible to identify a research paper by what it is not.
Research: What it is not.
A research paper is not simply an informed summary of a topic by means of primary and secondary sources. It is neither a book report nor an opinion piece nor an expository essay consisting solely of one's interpretation of a text nor an overview of a particular topic. Instead, it is a genre that requires one to spend time investigating and evaluating sources with the intent to offer interpretations of the texts, and not unconscious regurgitations of those sources. The goal of a research paper is not to inform the reader what others have to say about a topic, but to draw on what others have to say about a topic and engage the sources in order to thoughtfully offer a unique perspective on the issue at hand. This is accomplished through two major types of research papers.
Two major types of research papers.
Argumentative research paper:
The argumentative research paper consists of an introduction in which the writer clearly introduces the topic and informs his audience exactly which stance he intends to take; this stance is often identified as the thesis statement. An important goal of the argumentative research paper is persuasion, which means the topic chosen should be debatable or controversial. For example, it would be difficult for a student to successfully argue in favor of the following stance.
Cigarette smoking poses medical dangers and may lead to cancer for both the smoker and those who experience secondhand smoke.
Perhaps 25 years ago this topic would have been debatable; however, today, it is assumed that smoking cigarettes is, indeed, harmful to one's health. A better thesis would be the following.
Although it has been proven that cigarette smoking may lead to sundry health problems in the smoker, the social acceptance of smoking in public places demonstrates that many still do not consider secondhand smoke as dangerous to one's health as firsthand smoke.
In this sentence, the writer is not challenging the current accepted stance that both firsthand and secondhand cigarette smoke is dangerous; rather, she is positing that the social acceptance of the latter over the former is indicative of a cultural double-standard of sorts. The student would support this thesis throughout her paper by means of both primary and secondary sources, with the intent to persuade her audience that her particular interpretation of the situation is viable.
Analytical research paper:
The analytical research paper often begins with the student asking a question (a.k.a. a research question) on which he has taken no stance. Such a paper is often an exercise in exploration and evaluation. For example, perhaps one is interested in the Old English poem Beowulf. He has read the poem intently and desires to offer a fresh reading of the poem to the academic community. His question may be as follows.
How should one interpret the poem Beowulf?
His research may lead him to the following conclusion.
Beowulf is a poem whose purpose it was to serve as an exemplum of heterodoxy for tenth- and eleventh-century monastic communities.
Though his topic may be debatable and controversial, it is not the student's intent to persuade the audience that his ideas are right while those of others are wrong. Instead, his goal is to offer a critical interpretation of primary and secondary sources throughout the paper--sources that should, ultimately, buttress his particular analysis of the topic. The following is an example of what his thesis statement may look like once he has completed his research.
Though Beowulf is often read as a poem that recounts the heroism and supernatural exploits of the protagonist Beowulf, it may also be read as a poem that served as an exemplum of heterodoxy for tenth- and eleventh-century monastic communities found in the Danelaw.
This statement does not negate the traditional readings of Beowulf; instead, it offers a fresh and detailed reading of the poem that will be supported by the student's research.
It is typically not until the student has begun the writing process that his thesis statement begins to take solid form. In fact, the thesis statement in an analytical paper is often more fluid than the thesis in an argumentative paper. Such is one of the benefits of approaching the topic without a predetermined stance.

The Purdue University Writing Lab
The Writing Lab at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, had humble beginnings when Muriel Harris founded the Lab in 1976. It began as a one-room space with three consultants who worked with Purdue writers at any skill level. The Lab has grown to three rooms, with the addition of computer workstations, specialized writing services, two satellite locations in the Undergraduate Library and in Meredith Residence Hall, and the Online Writing Lab (OWL). The Writing Lab is more than a place for students to receive help with writing; it serves as a model for an international community of writing centers and composition scholars.
The Writing Lab tutors consist of Graduate Teaching Assistants who tutor writing in all subject areas, Undergraduate Teaching Assistants for first year-composition, and Business Writing Consultants for job search documents and professional writing assignments. Tutors work one-to-one with Purdue undergraduates and graduate students in 30-minute consultations. The Writing Lab also offers workshops covering a variety of topics, from the writing process to résumés and cover letters. Some workshops are designed specifically for the needs of ESL students, who also find the lab’s conversation groups and self-study materials helpful for improving their English language skills.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Writing Lab would support Writing Lab services and programs, tutor training, research, and outreach efforts.
OWL (Online Writing Lab)
While the Writing Lab primarily serves the West Lafayette campus community, it also provides services to Internet users around the world via the OWL. The OWL, located at http://owl.english.purdue.edu, received in excess of 128,000,000 visits from people last year utilizing its extensive collection of handouts, PowerPoint presentations, and other resources including podcasts designed for both students and teachers. The Purdue OWL is perhaps the most well-known Writing Lab service, as students who are new to Purdue mention using the OWL in their high school classes. The 24-hour access to the OWL enables anyone at any time to find answers to questions about writing, improve specific writing skills, or discover teaching materials for helping students learn about writing. The OWL is referenced in many textbooks on writing and Web development and by citations in the scholarly literature of computer-assisted writing, writing centers, and composition studies in general.

Invention: Starting the Writing Process
Summary: Tips for how to start a writing assignment.
Contributors:Stacy Weida, Karl Stolley
Last Edited: 2011-02-09 02:23:00
Writing takes time
Find out when is the assignment due and devise a plan of action. This may seem obvious and irrelevant to the writing process, but it's not. Writing is a process, not merely a product. Even the best professional writers don't just sit down at a computer, write, and call it a day. The quality of your writing will reflect the time and forethought you put into the assignment. Plan ahead for the assignment by doing pre-writing: this will allow you to be more productive and organized when you sit down to write. Also, schedule several blocks of time to devote to your writing; then, you can walk away from it for a while and come back later to make changes and revisions with a fresh mind.
Use the rhetorical elements as a guide to think through your writing
Thinking about your assignment in terms of the rhetorical situation can help guide you in the beginning of the writing process. Topic, audience, genre, style, opportunity, research, the writer, and purpose are just a few elements that make up the rhetorical situation.
Topic and audience are often very intertwined and work to inform each other. Start with a broad view of your topic such as skateboarding, pollution, or the novel Jane Eyre and then try to focus or refine your topic into a concise thesis statement by thinking about your audience. Here are some questions you can ask yourself about audience:
• Who is the audience for your writing?
• Do you think your audience is interested in the topic? Why or why not?
• Why should your audience be interested in this topic?
• What does your audience already know about this topic?
• What does your audience need to know about this topic?
• What experiences has your audience had that would influence them on this topic?
• What do you hope the audience will gain from your text?
For example, imagine that your broad topic is dorm food. Who is your audience? You could be writing to current students, prospective students, parents of students, university administrators, or nutrition experts among others. Each of these groups would have different experiences with and interests in the topic of dorm food. While students might be more concerned with the taste of the food or the hours food is available, parents might be more concerned with the price.
You can also think about opportunity as a way to refine or focus your topic by asking yourself what current events make your topic relevant at this moment. For example, you could connect the nutritional value of dorm food to the current debate about the obesity epidemic or you could connect the price value of dorm food to the rising cost of a college education overall.
Keep in mind the purpose of the writing assignment.
Writing can have many different purposes. Here are just a few examples:
• Summarizing: Presenting the main points or essence of another text in a condensed form
• Arguing/Persuading: Expressing a viewpoint on an issue or topic in an effort to convince others that your viewpoint is correct
• Narrating: Telling a story or giving an account of events
• Evaluating: Examining something in order to determine its value or worth based on a set of criteria.
• Analyzing: Breaking a topic down into its component parts in order to examine the relationships between the parts.
• Responding: Writing that is in a direct dialogue with another text.
• Examining/Investigating: Systematically questioning a topic to discover or uncover facts that are not widely known or accepted, in a way that strives to be as neutral and objective as possible.
• Observing: Helping the reader see and understand a person, place, object, image or event that you have directly watched or experienced through detailed sensory descriptions.
You could be observing your dorm cafeteria to see what types of food students are actually eating, you could be evaluating the quality of the food based on freshness and quantity, or you could be narrating a story about how you gained fifteen pounds your first year at college.
You may need to use several of these writing strategies within your paper. For example you could summarize federal nutrition guidelines, evaluate whether the food being served at the dorm fits those guidelines, and then argue that changes should be made in the menus to better fit those guidelines.
Pre-writing strategies
Once you have thesis statement just start writing! Don't feel constrained by format issues. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, or writing in complete sentences. Brainstorm and write down everything you can think of that might relate to the thesis and then reread and evaluate the ideas you generated. It's easier to cut out bad ideas than to only think of good ones. Once you have a handful of useful ways to approach the thesis you can use a basic outline structure to begin to think about organization. Remember to be flexible; this is just a way to get you writing. If better ideas occur to you as you're writing, don't be afraid to refine your original ideas.
Teaching Detailed Writing and Procedural Transitions
Media File: Teaching Detailed Writing and Procedural Transitions
This resource is enhanced by a PowerPoint file. Download the free Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer
Students new to writing lab and research reports often underestimate the importance of consistency of terminology and detail as well as appropriate and precise procedural transitions. One reason for this is that they may not clearly understand the purpose of this kind of writing beyond a school setting.
In the professional world, a lab or research report serves to both publicize new information and to give future researchers a framework for testing and applying the original researchers’ methods. As all instructors who deal with writing understand, it is difficult to reproduce the conditions of scientific publication for students. However, the following activity emphasizes the function of an audience with needs and expectations, while simplified, that mirror those of the scientific community they ought to have in mind as they write.
Activity: Describe Setting a Mousetrap
Put students into groups of two or more. Give them a standard mouse trap and ask them to write a set of directions for setting and disabling the trap. Make sure they do not have access to directions for setting mousetraps (e.g. discard the directions and limit access to the Internet). Prohibit students from using visual elements in this exercise. Students may think at first that the assignment is easy and beneath them, but will soon understand the difficulty of inventing terms that describe each part of the trap and the operations that must be performed in order to set the trap correctly and safely. Students will need at least 10-15 minutes to write the first part of the exercise. Expect a lot of noise as students verbally work on defining their terms as a group.
Next, select a volunteer to set and disable a mousetrap according to the directions of another group for the entire class. The volunteer should be provided only with the written directions of the selected group. Have the volunteer read the directions aloud as s/he attempts to set the trap and instruct him or her to follow only the directions as stated. S/he should also be instructed to let the class know when s/he is confused or cannot proceed. Chances are, the volunteer will run into problems right away. Here’s a list of common problems:
• Unclear, wordy, or imprecise descriptions
• Inconsistent use of key terms
• Missing or imprecise procedural transitions
This activity can be a good way to socialize new lab partners and simply introduce the importance of precision, consistent use of terms, and procedural transitions. If this is your aim, you can end the activity at the end of class and perhaps ask students to write a reflection of why the activity was interesting or important. You can also use this activity to introduce the challenges of writing a methods and materials section. Ask students to work with their directions over the course of a few class periods. They should be asked to revise together for accuracy and clarity and, importantly, the genre conventions of methods sections (e.g. using past tense, passive voice etc).
A good way to extend this exercise is to require students to refine their instructions and add graphics to their explanations as homework.

Discussion text etc..by feny xII A1

1. Text Discssion

Text discussion is the text that suggests discussion about a problem or issue by giving at least two points of view of the issue. Finally, the text discussion provides conclusions or recommendations on issues raised.

The structure of the text discussion, namely:
1. issue
2. Opinion medukung
3. Endorse the opinion that the main idea
4. Elaboration of the opinion that medukung
5. Opinion against
6. The underlying idea of opposing opinions
7. Elaboration of opinions that oppose
8. Conclusions and / or recommendations


Example:
Loch Ness Monster: Real or Hoax?
The existence of the Loch Ness monster has been debated since centuries ago.

In my opinion, there is a great chance that the Loch Ness monster, often nicknamed Nessie does exist in Loch Ness, Scotland. Many attempts to prove it, such as the famous expedition led by Dr. Robert Rines in the year 1972. He and his fellow scientists found recorded evidence using a sonar that something big indeed lives in the great loch. Many sightings by professionals that are unlikely to lie say that Nessie has the form of an aquatic animal much like the extinct plesiosaurus.

Photographs of the monster has also been taken by people trying to find evidence, and many of this photographs has been proved real and not a hoax. But unfortunately, not all of these evidence are authentic. Photographs, videos, even Nessie footprints has been faked. And until now, no one, not even scientists has come up with a carcass or live specimen of this creature. Untill then, we may never be sure that a living creture the so called Loch Ness monster is really living in the loch. I think we should keep a look out for this creature, we might find Nessie as a living dinosaur who survived extinction!

2. Text Narrative

Narrative Text, is a text whose contents is a story or a story about something. Examples of narrative text: folklore (folktale), animal story (fable), legend (legend), short stories (short story), and the like. In it there are conflicts / problems that followed the peak with the settlement. The main function of this text is to a story or entertain readers.
The characteristics of narrative text:
1. Generic Structure:
• Orientation: provides an introduction to the characters, place and time of the story (who or what, when and where)
• Complication: Contains the height of the conflict / problem in the story. Complication A story may have more than one.
• Resolution: solving the problem. Could end up with joy (happy ending) could also end up with sadness (sad ending).
Note:
Sometimes also the order (generic structure): Orientation, Complication, Evaluation, Resolution and Reorientation. For "Evaluation" and "Reorientation" is optional; there can be no. Evaluation contains the assessment / evaluation of the course of the story or conflict. Reorientation containing contents inference while the ending.
2. Grammatical features using tenses "past"
3. Frequent use of conjunctive time (temporal conjunction), for example: once upon a time, one day, long time ago, ...



Example Narrative Text:
Ali Baba
Once upon a time there were 40 cruel thieves who put their stolen money and treasures in a cave. They went in the cave by saying ”Open Sesame” to the cave entrance. A poor person, named Ali Baba saw them while they were doing that, so he heard the opening word. After they left, he went toward the cave and opened it. Suddenly he found a very large quantity of money and golden treasures. He took some of it and went back home. After that he became a rich man and his brother wanted to know how he became rich.
Ali Baba turned into the richest man in his village. His evil brother was really jealous of him, and wanted to know how he could get such a lot of money. Therefore, when Ali Baba went to the cave again to take some more money, his brother followed him. He saw everything, and decided to go back the next day to take some money for himself. The next morning he found a lot of money in the cave, and he wanted to take all of them. Unfortunately, when he was busy carrying the money to his house, the thieves came. The boss of the thieves asked him how he knew about the cave. He told everything, but unluckily they killed him and went to Ali Baba’s house.
After finding Ali Baba’s house, they made a plan to kill him the following night. Some of the thieves hid in big jars, and the boss pretended that he was a merchant who wanted to sell the jars to Ali Baba. Ali Baba who was a kind man invited the boss of the thief to have lunch together.
After lunch they took a rest. Luckily, the house maid went out of the house, and found that there were thieves inside the jars. She finally boiled hot oil and poured it into the jars to kill all of them. The boss of the thieves was caught, and put into prison.
Ali Baba was saved from the danger, and he finally lived happily ever after with his maid who became his wife shortly after.

Summary: Harry, Ron, and Hermione go back to Hogwarts to find and destroy Voldemort's final horcruxes

"It all ends," says the poster slogan. A potentially grim statement of the obvious, of course, yet the Potter saga could hardly have ended on a better note. With one miraculous flourish of its wand, the franchise has restored the essential magic to the Potter legend – which had been starting to sag and drift in recent movies – zapping us all with a cracking final chapter, which looks far superior to CS Lewis's The Last Battle or JRR Tolkien's The Return of the King. It's dramatically satisfying, spectacular and terrifically exciting, easily justifying the decision to split the last book into two.

Here is where the Harry Potter series gets its groove back, with a final confrontation between Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and our young hero, and with the sensational revelation of Harry's destiny, which Dumbledore had been keeping secret from him. When stout-hearted young Neville Longbottom (a scene-stealer from Matthew Lewis) steps forward to denounce the dark lord in the final courtyard scene, I was on the edge of my seat. And when, in that final "coda", the middle-age Harry Potter gently hugs his little boy before sending him off for his first term at Hogwarts – well, what can I say? I think I must have had something in my eye.

The colossal achievement of this series really is something to wonder at. The Harry Potter movies showed us their characters growing older in real time: unlike Just William or Bart Simpson, Daniel Radcliffe's Harry was going to grow up like a normal person and never before has any film – or any book – brought home to me how terribly brief childhood is. The Potter movies weren't just an adaptation of a series of books, but a living, evolving collaborative phenomenon between page and screen. The first movie, Philosopher's Stone, came out in 2001, when JK Rowling was working on the fifth book, Order of the Phoenix, and when no one – perhaps not even the author herself – knew precisely how it was going to end. The movies developed just behind the books, and it's surely impossible to read them without being influenced by the films. This is most true for Robbie Coltrane's endlessly lovable, definitive performance as Hagrid.

In this final episode, Harry (Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) continue their battle to find and destroy the "horcruxes" that the sinister Voldemort needs so he can stay alive for all eternity: these are objects in which the fragments of souls are trapped and whose vital, spiritual force Voldemort, that hateful parasite, can siphon off for his own ends. Harry and his friends track down these horcruxes, but the last one is a puzzle. As the forces of good assemble at Hogwarts for the final showdown with Voldemort and his hordes, Harry knows only that the most vital horcrux is actually in the castle, very close at hand.

There are some superb set-piece scenes – and now the plot has so much more zing, these scenes have a power that comparable moments in earlier movies did not have. When Harry, Ron and Hermione insinuate themselves into Gringotts Bank to steal the sword of Gryffindor, the effect is bizarre, surreal and macabre: drawing on the influence of Lewis Carroll and Terry Gilliam. It is a great moment when Severus Snape, played with magnificently adenoidal disdain by Alan Rickman, is attacked by Voldemort's snake Nagini, and we witness this only from behind a frosted glass screen – a nice touch from director David Yates. London-dwelling Potter fans will, as before, be intrigued to see how the ornate St Pancras railway station is used to represent King's Cross, from where the Hogwarts train traditionally departs. Millions of tourists are undoubtedly convinced that this building is, in fact, King's Cross. It may be forced simply to change its name.

We get passionate, but somehow touchingly innocent screen kisses between Harry and Ginny (Bonnie Wright) and, of course, between Ron and Hermione. In the midst of the battle, Neville declares that he is going to find Luna (Evanna Lynch) for a snog: "I'm mad about her! About time I told her, since we're both probably going to be dead by dawn!" But these love stories are always subordinate to the all-important battle between good and evil.

The crucial moment of the film is where, I admit, I have a quibble: it is gripping and even moving when Harry realises what his destiny is, and sets out to fulfil it. Yet the exact rationale for his ultimate survival may be a little obscure, and perhaps even Potter-diehards may suspect that in the film there is a touch of having your cake and eating it. Well, no matter. This is such an entertaining, beguiling, charming and exciting picture. It reminded me of the thrill I felt on seeing the very first one, 10 years ago. And Radcliffe's Harry Potter has emerged as a complex, confident, vulnerable, courageous character – most likable, sadly, at the point where we must leave him for ever. Wait. I've got that darn thing in my eye again...

Genre and the Research Paper
Summary: This handout provides detailed information about how to write research papers including discussing research papers as a genre, choosing topics, and finding sources.
Contributors:Jack Raymond Baker, Allen Brizee
Last Edited: 2011-03-30 09:06:38
Research: What it is.
A research paper is the culmination and final product of an involved process of research, critical thinking, source evaluation, organization, and composition. It is, perhaps, helpful to think of the research paper as a living thing, which grows and changes as the student explores, interprets, and evaluates sources related to a specific topic. Primary and secondary sources are the heart of a research paper, and provide its nourishment; without the support of and interaction with these sources, the research paper would morph into a different genre of writing (e.g., an encyclopedic article). The research paper serves not only to further the field in which it is written, but also to provide the student with an exceptional opportunity to increase her knowledge in that field. It is also possible to identify a research paper by what it is not.
Research: What it is not.
A research paper is not simply an informed summary of a topic by means of primary and secondary sources. It is neither a book report nor an opinion piece nor an expository essay consisting solely of one's interpretation of a text nor an overview of a particular topic. Instead, it is a genre that requires one to spend time investigating and evaluating sources with the intent to offer interpretations of the texts, and not unconscious regurgitations of those sources. The goal of a research paper is not to inform the reader what others have to say about a topic, but to draw on what others have to say about a topic and engage the sources in order to thoughtfully offer a unique perspective on the issue at hand. This is accomplished through two major types of research papers.
Two major types of research papers.
Argumentative research paper:
The argumentative research paper consists of an introduction in which the writer clearly introduces the topic and informs his audience exactly which stance he intends to take; this stance is often identified as the thesis statement. An important goal of the argumentative research paper is persuasion, which means the topic chosen should be debatable or controversial. For example, it would be difficult for a student to successfully argue in favor of the following stance.
Cigarette smoking poses medical dangers and may lead to cancer for both the smoker and those who experience secondhand smoke.
Perhaps 25 years ago this topic would have been debatable; however, today, it is assumed that smoking cigarettes is, indeed, harmful to one's health. A better thesis would be the following.
Although it has been proven that cigarette smoking may lead to sundry health problems in the smoker, the social acceptance of smoking in public places demonstrates that many still do not consider secondhand smoke as dangerous to one's health as firsthand smoke.
In this sentence, the writer is not challenging the current accepted stance that both firsthand and secondhand cigarette smoke is dangerous; rather, she is positing that the social acceptance of the latter over the former is indicative of a cultural double-standard of sorts. The student would support this thesis throughout her paper by means of both primary and secondary sources, with the intent to persuade her audience that her particular interpretation of the situation is viable.
Analytical research paper:
The analytical research paper often begins with the student asking a question (a.k.a. a research question) on which he has taken no stance. Such a paper is often an exercise in exploration and evaluation. For example, perhaps one is interested in the Old English poem Beowulf. He has read the poem intently and desires to offer a fresh reading of the poem to the academic community. His question may be as follows.
How should one interpret the poem Beowulf?
His research may lead him to the following conclusion.
Beowulf is a poem whose purpose it was to serve as an exemplum of heterodoxy for tenth- and eleventh-century monastic communities.
Though his topic may be debatable and controversial, it is not the student's intent to persuade the audience that his ideas are right while those of others are wrong. Instead, his goal is to offer a critical interpretation of primary and secondary sources throughout the paper--sources that should, ultimately, buttress his particular analysis of the topic. The following is an example of what his thesis statement may look like once he has completed his research.
Though Beowulf is often read as a poem that recounts the heroism and supernatural exploits of the protagonist Beowulf, it may also be read as a poem that served as an exemplum of heterodoxy for tenth- and eleventh-century monastic communities found in the Danelaw.
This statement does not negate the traditional readings of Beowulf; instead, it offers a fresh and detailed reading of the poem that will be supported by the student's research.
It is typically not until the student has begun the writing process that his thesis statement begins to take solid form. In fact, the thesis statement in an analytical paper is often more fluid than the thesis in an argumentative paper. Such is one of the benefits of approaching the topic without a predetermined stance.

Please take a few moments to learn more about each area through which we serve students. If you would like to make a contribution to one of these specific areas, please follow the directions located in the last section under Giving Directions.
The Purdue University Writing Lab
The Writing Lab at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, had humble beginnings when Muriel Harris founded the Lab in 1976. It began as a one-room space with three consultants who worked with Purdue writers at any skill level. The Lab has grown to three rooms, with the addition of computer workstations, specialized writing services, two satellite locations in the Undergraduate Library and in Meredith Residence Hall, and the Online Writing Lab (OWL). The Writing Lab is more than a place for students to receive help with writing; it serves as a model for an international community of writing centers and composition scholars.
The Writing Lab tutors consist of Graduate Teaching Assistants who tutor writing in all subject areas, Undergraduate Teaching Assistants for first year-composition, and Business Writing Consultants for job search documents and professional writing assignments. Tutors work one-to-one with Purdue undergraduates and graduate students in 30-minute consultations. The Writing Lab also offers workshops covering a variety of topics, from the writing process to résumés and cover letters. Some workshops are designed specifically for the needs of ESL students, who also find the lab’s conversation groups and self-study materials helpful for improving their English language skills.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Writing Lab would support Writing Lab services and programs, tutor training, research, and outreach efforts.
OWL (Online Writing Lab)
While the Writing Lab primarily serves the West Lafayette campus community, it also provides services to Internet users around the world via the OWL. The OWL, located at http://owl.english.purdue.edu, received in excess of 128,000,000 visits from people last year utilizing its extensive collection of handouts, PowerPoint presentations, and other resources including podcasts designed for both students and teachers. The Purdue OWL is perhaps the most well-known Writing Lab service, as students who are new to Purdue mention using the OWL in their high school classes. The 24-hour access to the OWL enables anyone at any time to find answers to questions about writing, improve specific writing skills, or discover teaching materials for helping students learn about writing. The OWL is referenced in many textbooks on writing and Web development and by citations in the scholarly literature of computer-assisted writing, writing centers, and composition studies in general.

Your tax-deductible gift to the OWL would support development of and updates to OWL resources and help keep them free, as well as research, outreach, and technology.

Invention: Starting the Writing Process
Summary: Tips for how to start a writing assignment.
Contributors:Stacy Weida, Karl Stolley
Last Edited: 2011-02-09 02:23:00
Writing takes time
Find out when is the assignment due and devise a plan of action. This may seem obvious and irrelevant to the writing process, but it's not. Writing is a process, not merely a product. Even the best professional writers don't just sit down at a computer, write, and call it a day. The quality of your writing will reflect the time and forethought you put into the assignment. Plan ahead for the assignment by doing pre-writing: this will allow you to be more productive and organized when you sit down to write. Also, schedule several blocks of time to devote to your writing; then, you can walk away from it for a while and come back later to make changes and revisions with a fresh mind.
Use the rhetorical elements as a guide to think through your writing
Thinking about your assignment in terms of the rhetorical situation can help guide you in the beginning of the writing process. Topic, audience, genre, style, opportunity, research, the writer, and purpose are just a few elements that make up the rhetorical situation.
Topic and audience are often very intertwined and work to inform each other. Start with a broad view of your topic such as skateboarding, pollution, or the novel Jane Eyre and then try to focus or refine your topic into a concise thesis statement by thinking about your audience. Here are some questions you can ask yourself about audience:
• Who is the audience for your writing?
• Do you think your audience is interested in the topic? Why or why not?
• Why should your audience be interested in this topic?
• What does your audience already know about this topic?
• What does your audience need to know about this topic?
• What experiences has your audience had that would influence them on this topic?
• What do you hope the audience will gain from your text?
For example, imagine that your broad topic is dorm food. Who is your audience? You could be writing to current students, prospective students, parents of students, university administrators, or nutrition experts among others. Each of these groups would have different experiences with and interests in the topic of dorm food. While students might be more concerned with the taste of the food or the hours food is available, parents might be more concerned with the price.
You can also think about opportunity as a way to refine or focus your topic by asking yourself what current events make your topic relevant at this moment. For example, you could connect the nutritional value of dorm food to the current debate about the obesity epidemic or you could connect the price value of dorm food to the rising cost of a college education overall.
Keep in mind the purpose of the writing assignment.
Writing can have many different purposes. Here are just a few examples:
• Summarizing: Presenting the main points or essence of another text in a condensed form
• Arguing/Persuading: Expressing a viewpoint on an issue or topic in an effort to convince others that your viewpoint is correct
• Narrating: Telling a story or giving an account of events
• Evaluating: Examining something in order to determine its value or worth based on a set of criteria.
• Analyzing: Breaking a topic down into its component parts in order to examine the relationships between the parts.
• Responding: Writing that is in a direct dialogue with another text.
• Examining/Investigating: Systematically questioning a topic to discover or uncover facts that are not widely known or accepted, in a way that strives to be as neutral and objective as possible.
• Observing: Helping the reader see and understand a person, place, object, image or event that you have directly watched or experienced through detailed sensory descriptions.
You could be observing your dorm cafeteria to see what types of food students are actually eating, you could be evaluating the quality of the food based on freshness and quantity, or you could be narrating a story about how you gained fifteen pounds your first year at college.
You may need to use several of these writing strategies within your paper. For example you could summarize federal nutrition guidelines, evaluate whether the food being served at the dorm fits those guidelines, and then argue that changes should be made in the menus to better fit those guidelines.
Pre-writing strategies
Once you have thesis statement just start writing! Don't feel constrained by format issues. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, or writing in complete sentences. Brainstorm and write down everything you can think of that might relate to the thesis and then reread and evaluate the ideas you generated. It's easier to cut out bad ideas than to only think of good ones. Once you have a handful of useful ways to approach the thesis you can use a basic outline structure to begin to think about organization. Remember to be flexible; this is just a way to get you writing. If better ideas occur to you as you're writing, don't be afraid to refine your original ideas.
Teaching Detailed Writing and Procedural Transitions
Media File: Teaching Detailed Writing and Procedural Transitions
This resource is enhanced by a PowerPoint file. Download the free Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer
Students new to writing lab and research reports often underestimate the importance of consistency of terminology and detail as well as appropriate and precise procedural transitions. One reason for this is that they may not clearly understand the purpose of this kind of writing beyond a school setting.
In the professional world, a lab or research report serves to both publicize new information and to give future researchers a framework for testing and applying the original researchers’ methods. As all instructors who deal with writing understand, it is difficult to reproduce the conditions of scientific publication for students. However, the following activity emphasizes the function of an audience with needs and expectations, while simplified, that mirror those of the scientific community they ought to have in mind as they write.
Activity: Describe Setting a Mousetrap
Put students into groups of two or more. Give them a standard mouse trap and ask them to write a set of directions for setting and disabling the trap. Make sure they do not have access to directions for setting mousetraps (e.g. discard the directions and limit access to the Internet). Prohibit students from using visual elements in this exercise. Students may think at first that the assignment is easy and beneath them, but will soon understand the difficulty of inventing terms that describe each part of the trap and the operations that must be performed in order to set the trap correctly and safely. Students will need at least 10-15 minutes to write the first part of the exercise. Expect a lot of noise as students verbally work on defining their terms as a group.
Next, select a volunteer to set and disable a mousetrap according to the directions of another group for the entire class. The volunteer should be provided only with the written directions of the selected group. Have the volunteer read the directions aloud as s/he attempts to set the trap and instruct him or her to follow only the directions as stated. S/he should also be instructed to let the class know when s/he is confused or cannot proceed. Chances are, the volunteer will run into problems right away. Here’s a list of common problems:
• Unclear, wordy, or imprecise descriptions
• Inconsistent use of key terms
• Missing or imprecise procedural transitions
This activity can be a good way to socialize new lab partners and simply introduce the importance of precision, consistent use of terms, and procedural transitions. If this is your aim, you can end the activity at the end of class and perhaps ask students to write a reflection of why the activity was interesting or important. You can also use this activity to introduce the challenges of writing a methods and materials section. Ask students to work with their directions over the course of a few class periods. They should be asked to revise together for accuracy and clarity and, importantly, the genre conventions of methods sections (e.g. using past tense, passive voice etc).
A good way to extend this exercise is to require students to refine their instructions and add graphics to their explanations as homework.
